UOB Introduction and History
Formula Student is an annual engineering design competition, challenging students from universities around the world to design, build, develop and race single-
seater
racing cars, simulating the rules of American Autocross events. The competition has been running in the UK for 10 years,
organized
by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (
IMechE
).
Formula Student is increasingly
recognized
as the most effective proving ground for student engineers in the world, developing not just design and engineering skills but teamwork, people management, time management, money management, marketing, project planning and presentation skills.
The
range of prestigious industrial partners, sponsoring both teams and the event itself, is perhaps the clearest indication of the
caliber
of students coming through the competition and the value of having Formula
